After pressing the “OK” button, the program will prompt you to enter a name and
storage location for the recording. Intermediate storage on the local hard drive of your
PC offers you the possibility to view data already stored during the recording and
greatly improves data security.
Tip: Tip:
The data format for long term recordings is “*.btd”
(BAPPU-time file). When the data is exported, it can be
saved as a “*.csv” file, which is compatible with Windows-
based spreadsheet and word processing software .
After confirming the file name, the recording will begin in accordance with the
information that you have already entered in the “Recording settings” dialog box.
The time remaining before the recording starts is shown at the top of the screen; of
course, this will remain so unless you select “Start recording now”. When the recording
commences, the progress of the recording is shown in days, hours and minutes.
